     29 //   - There is no MessageLoop running on this thread, and ::current() returns
     30 //     NULL.
     31 //   - No nested loops can be run, and all tasks are run non-nested.
     32 //   - Work scheduled via libdispatch runs at the same priority as and is
     33 //     interleaved with posted tasks, though FIFO order is guaranteed.
